Elder Scrolls Online: Does It Have A Chance?

It is roughly 1000 years before the Dragonborn set foot into Skyrim and Tamriel is in turmoil.  The Ruby Throne sits empty in the Imperial City and four alliances fight over who is to rule.  The Daedric Prince Molag Bal has taken this opportunity to help plunge Tamriel into darkness.  He is working with the Tharn family who has allied with the Imperials in an effort to put Tamriel back under Imperial rule. 

Elder Scrolls Online allows the player the choice of the nine different races, which in turn will decide which alliance they become a part of.  Let me explain:

World of Warcraft and Your Last Day

As I write this the Vale of Eternal Blossoms is being destroyed. Mr. Hellscream has tossed the heart of Y’shaarj into the Polls of Power setting in motion a series of events that will ultimately being about his defeat.   

A last look at the Golden Lotus quest hub.

As we all sit patiently waiting for the maintenance to be completed and patch 5.4 to be implemented what I want to know is what did you do with your last day in 5.3?  Did you fly around taking as many pictures as you could of the Vale? Or did you simply go about your daily routine thankful that there is some new content on the horizon?

Titanfall: A Microsoft Exclusive

Whether you are someone who follows the gaming industry very intently or just a causal gamer, it is almost a guarantee that you have heard of Titanfall.  Taking home over 60 awards at E3 including Best of Show, Best Online Multiplayer, and tons of critics’ choice awards.  I mean with jetpacks, heavy weapons and giant military exoskeletons known as Titans, it is hard not to be a little excited to learn more about this game.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, Well Not Yet..

I have mentioned before that I would like to do a sort of review in progress for Final Fantasy XIV but right now I have run into a roadblock with that.  After learning that my best friend picked up a copy of Final Fantasy for the PS3, it really sparked my interest in the game.  I knew I wanted to play it but I wasn’t in a rush to get my hands on a copy, so needless to say I didn’t pre-order a copy.  Well as you can imagine that has come back to bite me in the behind.  Of the two Wal-Marts, two EB Games and the Future Shop in my city there is absolutely zero copies for the PC available, and no one seemingly has any idea when they are getting any back in stock.  Whether or not Square Enix has put a kind of hold on shipping out new copies (similar to the halt they have imposed on the digital downloads) or whether just that they are back logged, is anyone’s guess

To say that I am slightly disappointed is an understatement.  After watching my friend play it and hearing about the cool things he is doing just makes me want to jump right in there and be a part of it.  For now I will have to get by with watching videos on YouTube and reading the many reviews until they are restocked.  Is anyone else experiencing this in their communities or is this something that seems to be localized to me?
